"Oh, joy, a new Peculiar Crimes Unit case by Christopher Fowler . . . the best fun is running all over the city with these amiable partners."--The New York Times Book Review

The brilliant Arthur Bryant and John May take the late, late shift in a cat-and-mouse hunt with a killer who preys on his victims at the same time every night--the lonely hour of 4 A.M.

When a man is found hanging upside down inside a willow tree on Hampstead Heath, surrounded by a baffling assortment of occult objects, the Peculiar Crimes Unit is called in to investigate. Was this a botched satanic ritual pulled off by bored teenagers, a gang initiation, or the work of a mastermind with grander intentions? Bryant and May set off in search of answers and are soon reminded that London is a city steeped in blood and magic.

When another body is pulled from the river at dawn, it becomes clear that a killer lurks in the night. To catch him, the PCU switches to graveyard shifts, but the team still comes up short. As they explore a night city where the normal rules do not apply, they're drawn deeper into a case that involves murder, arson, kidnapping, blackmail, loneliness, and bats.

May takes a technological approach, while Bryant goes in search of his usual academics and misfits for help, for this investigation reveals impossibilities at every turn. How do you stop a killer who appears not to exist? Luckily, impossibilities are what the Peculiar Crimes Unit does best.

Raised the price $10 ???
Size: 12 Packs, Style: Lunch Napkin
These napkins are great and I am a return customer BUT. I can’t believe all the sudden they raised the price $10. I am not happy at all. I will still buy them but I will use them much less Better for entertainment and my pocket. This is how I fight back when they raise the price.

Great quality
Size: 12 Packs, Style: Lunch Napkin
Napkins arrived quickly. There is a lot of them but we will use them. They are good quality, have not had any rip on us. They absorb liquids and food pretty well, cleans the hands like they should. They feel like normal napkins, soft but tough enough to wipe with. Good product that I will continue using.

Love these plates for every soy. I normally use paper plates for lunch but I started using them for non messy dinners. We have even used them for spaghetti. They handled the sauce and meaball and sausage with no problem. I would normally U.S. China plates for something like the, I got lazy one night and used these I was pleasantly shocked they worked with no leak through.

Sturdy plates
Size: 10 in-140 count
I purchased these but I normally go to Sam’s Club for bulk. I had a party and these were a hit. Very sturdy and plenty of room. I don’t really like the edges, they’re straight but that’s cosmetic preference not function.
